when I originally got my lx in october on of the first things I did was scribe the balancer with a piece of soapstone where 14 deg BTDC was,well guess what in actuality I scribed it @ 10 BTDC and all this time I have been trying to figure out why my car has no guts, what a dope.At least now I can get rubber in 2nd,I mean dont get me wrong I still cant feel the g forces but its a start.I think rear gars and an x pipe are now in order.
